Victor Wembanyama had five points, seven rebounds, two steals and eight blocks while shooting 2/8 from the field in his first 18 minutes of playing time. The 2024 Rookie of The Year also made NBA history.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news this morning, but a lot of people are hyping up Ja Morant's "dunk" on Victor Wembanyama from Wednesday night. And, look, the reason why is obvious. It's Wemby! The dude is 10-foot-2 (not really but whatever).

Victor Wembanyama may be the single most imposing rim protector in NBA history. He's only in his second season, but his combination of elite athleticism for his size, stellar shot-blocking instincts and absurd eight-foot wingspan makes him a nearly impenetrable obstacle for drivers at the basket.
